England skipper Chris Robshaw has emerged as a major doubt for Harlequins who come to Dublin for the second of their back-to-back clashes with Leinster in the European Champions League.

The flanker suffered a blow to his shoulder in the first match against the Blues and Quins' director of rugby Conor O'Shea didn't sound too optimistic about his chances of being fit, or those of first choice outhalf, Nick Evans.

“The two biggest concerns at the moment are Nick Evans and Chris Robshaw. From where I sit, probably Chris’ (injury is more worrying), but we’ll see. I’ll wait until I hear back rather than come up with something. But he’s doubtful and I wouldn’t say Nick will make it either."

Evans was suffering with abductor and back problems just 13 minutes into his side's 24-18 win over Leinster at the Stoop last Sunday and was replaced by 21-year-old, Tim Swiel.
